Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israel. Quia puer Israel, et dilexi eum: et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.
Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum: Baalim immolabant, et simulachris sacrificabant.
3 And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, — He took them upon his arms, — but they knew not that I healed them.
Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
4 I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat.
In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis charitatis: et ero eis quasi exaltans iugum super maxillas eorum: et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me];
Non revertetur in Terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex eius: quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
Cœpit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
7 Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [him].
Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum: iugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
8 How shall I give thee over, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee up, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Quomodo dabo te Ephraim, protegam te Israel? quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te, ut Seboim? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est pœnitudo mea.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, — the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come in anger.
Non faciam furorem iræ meæ: non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim: quoniam Deus ego, et non homo: in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
10 They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west:
Post Dominum ambulabunt, quasi leo rugiet: quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
11 they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.
Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de Terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
12 Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with God, and with the holy things of truth.
Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
